A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contribute to the diversion rate for construction and demolition waste:
The Aztec Union project, the primary construction project on campus during the 2012-2013 timeframe is being constructed in accordance with LEED Platinum level guidelines including recycling of construction and demolition waste. The project as a whole is projected to achieve an 80% diversion rate.
The Aztec Union website and updates through the SDSU News Center serve as outreach on this project. A summary of green building for this specific project are available here: http://www.aztecstudentunion.com/building-green.php
Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The construction diversion information provided here represents the demolition phase of the one major campus construction project Aztec Union, which began in 2012.
At this time only demolition material has been taken off-site. Since the majority of the old Aztec Student Union material was steel and concrete, both of which are 100% recyclable, the 98% diversion rate reported is accurate for the reporting period, but is not typical for the campus and will not be representative of the project as a whole.
